I believe it was an open house on Friday at TS, and then the drag races/ sled pulls/ dyno on Sat. Recovery/ drive home on Sunday......

so that means we need to be there by Wed night again to start "tuning up" for the real festivities. Hey, some people spend all week at Talladega before a race, we can spend a few days hanging around and getting to actually talk to each other......

Discuss....

Friday open house....dyno was there

Sat, drag races from the AM until 4-5pm...dyno was there, vendor alley, show-n-shine, etc...

Sled pulls started 6-7pm and went until 2am (?? I heard...I had left).


That was this year...

DCSpecial hit it right on the head. It did get really late this year on saturday. But it all depends on how many trucks are there. Do you all plan on camping at beech bend

Yep, it was Dunbar's dyno.


It's where "Red Stroke" (12v in a SD) put down 1312rwhp (or close to it) on the spray.......of course he later trumped that number at a different event that Dunbar had his dyno at.

I may have to wait until Thursday to head in, but I'll know more as time gets closer. If you're heading up Wed though, I may just do the same.
